Mata Bridges repairs to close SH1 in Northland at night
The Transport Agency advises motorists in Northland that further roadworks are about to start on State Highway 1 near Oakleigh and will involve night closures..
The new work is focused on repairs and resurfacing of the three Mata Bridges between Oakleigh and Ruakaka.
This new work is in addition to the ongoing night-time road repairs at Oakleigh which started in early February. Those works are taking longer than expected because of the wet summer weather and now won’t be finished until after Easter, says the Transport Agency’s System Manager Steve Mutton.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
